The True Game	comment	The True Game is a trilogy of trilogies by Sheri S. Tepper.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The setting of the series is a world where many people have magical "Talents", and political interactions take the form of the "True Game", in which battles play out like real-life versions of a game something like chess but with as many kinds of chesspiece as there are Talents. (People with no Talents are called "pawns", and often suffer the brunt of their rulers' conflicts.)As the series progresses, the world is a revealed as a planet in the distant future colonized by humans (implied to have been a dumping ground for the people whose psychic abilities were the foundation for the Talents, who were feared and distrusted on their homeworlds), but also home to many strange native beings.The first trilogy — King's Blood Four, Necromancer Nine, Wizard's Eleven — follows a young man named Peter as he tries to find his place in the world, and discovers the truth about the planet's history.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The second trilogy — The Song of Mavin Manyshaped, The Flight of Mavin Manyshaped, The Search for Mavin Manyshaped — is a prequel set in the previous generation and featuring Peter's mother.The third trilogy — Jinian Footseer, Dervish Daughter Jinian Star-Eye — begins as a P.O.V. Sequel to Peter's story, before continuing on to a crisis that determines the future course of the world.

The True Game / int_e4878443	type	Character Class System
The True Game / int_e4878443	comment	Character Class System: A rare literary example. During the original trilogy the cast works out that there's really only twelve Talents,note The full list is shapeshifting, precognition, telekinesis, self-levitation, self-teleportation, healing, raising the dead, telepathy, pyrokinesis, storing energy for use by others, and beguiling others to follow you. not the hundreds recognized by the realms of the world. These are then mixed and matched at lesser or greater levels, rather like a Point Build System.
